Today in Labor History December 20, 1971: Doctors Without Borders was founded by French doctors and journalists in the wake of the Biafra succession. Their first mission was in support of victims of the 1972 Nicaraguan earthquake. In the mid to late 1970s, they provided aid to refugees from the Khmer Rouge. They spent 9 years (1976-1984) in Lebanon during their civil war. They’ve spent decades in Africa helping in the battles against AIDS and Ebola. Their volunteers have been attacked by soldiers, kidnapped and bombed. In 1999 they won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Visite cette après-midi du petit marché de Noël de #Rennes, sur le mail Mitterrand.

Mon mari et moi avons pris chacun un verre de vin chaud au pied de la grande roue.
Une petite pensée pour les personnages, fictifs ou non mais plus vrais que nature, de ma petite bible personnelle, le roman sur l'arrivée du SIDA à Stockholm N'Essuie Jamais de larmes sans gants, de Jonas Gardell.

Ces personnages se sont trouvés ou retrouvés lors d'un repas de Noël, en 1982. Paul, l'hôte, demande aux petits nouveaux s'il veulent du vin chaud. Oui ? Réponse de Paul :

"Eh bien, on n'en a pas, de vin chaud. On a que du champagne. [...] Du vin chaud... Laisse-moi rire ! De la pisse de bourrique tiédasse où ils ont rajoutés des raisins secs. Et après, soi-disant que c'est NOUS les pervers !"

Paul, Benjamin, Rasmus, Lars-Åke, Seppo, Bengt et Reine, cet après-midi j'ai été pervers en pensant à vous !

(Qui plus est, pour ceux qui ont vu ou lu cette histoire, on y est allé en passant par la place de Bretagne où se tenait l'un des inévitables stands des Témoins de Jéhovah, Skål Benjamin).

L'image est issue de la version télé de l'histoire, disponible en VOD en France sous le nom de Snö.

I was looking at a post on FB that had a retro pic of a handsome guy in a white shirt.

A white polo shirt, usually a Chemise Lacoste "alligator." There was a time in the 80's when wearing one was a covert gay signal. They were popular. An unknowing person wearing one would surely wonder why all the glances.

I once found a gay club in Guadalajara by following the army of white-shirted walkers going the same direction.

The post was about an AIDS fatality. I'm very familiar with it

For the first time in 37 years, the United States government declined to acknowledge World AIDS Day. While we were all remembering the epidemic — our country was not.

Today in Labor History December 13, 1986: Kuwasi Balagoon died of AIDS while in prison, while serving time for a Brinks robbery. Balagoon had been a member of the Black Panther Party. While in prison, he became disillusioned with the Panthers, became an anarchist and joined the more militant Black Liberation Army. He escaped from prison twice. In 1979, while on the lam from his second prison escape, he helped to free political prisoner Assata Shakur, who fled to Cuba and who recently died there (2025). In 1986, he died in prison from AIDS. In 2019, PM Press released a collection of writings by and about Balagoon called, “Kuwasi Balagoon: A Soldier's Story.” And the prison abolitionist group, Black and Pink, which supports LGBTQ and HIV-positive prisoners, has, since 2020, run a "Kuwasi Balagoon award" for those living with HIV/AIDS. During his trial, he represented himself, admitted his guilt, but argued that his actions were justified in the war against the colonial, genocidal state. He was also open about his bisexuality. Yet many obituaries omitted this fact in what some activists have decried as the erasure of "internal struggle against homophobia and patriarchy."

Photo of Kuwasi Balagoon, with graying beard, moustache and receding hair, and the following quote by him: the goals of anarchy don’t include replacing one ruling class with another, neither in the guise of a fairer boss or as a party. This is key because this is what separates anarchist revolutionaries from Maoist, socialist, and nationalist revolutionaries, who from the onset do not embrace complete revolution. They cannot envision a truly free and equalitarian society and must to some extent embrace the socialisation process that makes exploitation and oppression possible.

La malignidad de nuestra organización social ni beneficia a la masa humana al completo (no lo pretende) ni al planeta. Para la humanidad, el cooperativismo es más factible que el altruismo. Y para acordar hay que comunicarse.

Callar es malvivir con estigmas. Paseando por sus principales acepciones (hay siete) se construye la miniserie de menos de una hora Silencio.

¿Qué será de las vampiras si las pandemias continúan menguando a la gente, su comida, su instrumento reproductivo? ¡Nadie piensa en conservar el orden (sobre)natural!

El matriarcado de vampiras lorquianas prota debate esto entre desavenencias generacionales en un entorno con una estética del detalle marca de la casa y digno de obras de mayor envergadura (excepto alguna prótesis, y alguna peluca, que luce artificial). Ni su señor Satán se aclararía con este dilema.

Sí sabemos, no obstante, que las mejores revelaciones tienen lugar ante una mesa y en una cama, y los episodios lo reflejan de fábula. O performando una versión camelera de Muera el amor.

Callar nos limita. Porque omitir es ya una decisión; delegar poder en otres que nos impondrán su contexto marcándonos, contagiándonos.

Sin perder de vista el lado social, la pandemia de silencio se solapa con las otras, por suerte se viste con humor socarrón, y choni, que nos afianza en el mood principal lejos de distraernos.

Hablar de ciertos asuntos es arduo, más con nuestras mayores. Pero si no se hace el silencio puede enquistarse y traspasarse, incluso de modo intergeneracional.

La historia lanza y recoge la bola sin perder el norte, de la peste al VIH, de la sangre cazada a la comprada, de silencio de madre a agonía de hija.

Silencio sabe, en su brevedad, fundamentar principio, nudo y desenlace, darnos pasión, risas y luz.

Gilipollas, asomaos a la ventana.
